Note from PSOE:

The Socialist councilor today Lucía Sánchez assessed data Gender Violence victims of the town of Lorca.

He noted that of the 1,417 complaints made in the Region in the first half of the year, Lorca represents 6.2% of the total.

Of these, extracted with 45% of victims are Spanish and 55% foreign, "the opposite is happening in the region, where most of the perpetrators are Spanish."

Therefore, the mayor stressed the need to implement specific mechanisms to combat gender violence in intimate relationships among strangers, "because we are the only municipality" where the percentages of offenders and victims immigrants are higher than national " .

This proposal has already been launched by the mayor in November last year.

On the other hand, Sanchez regretted that the PP government team, "has not lifted a finger" to sign the Protocol of Collaboration with the Security Forces of the State and Local Police on Violence against Women, as other municipalities have done Totana, Caravaca, Cehegín, Bullas, Calasparra, White, Molina de Segura, Alguazas, Abarán or Lorquí.

In this regard, expressed its outrage that the proposal was approved at the request of the PSOE, in the heart of February "and the PP was not taken seriously."

This protocol aims to ensure the effective implementation of legal measures to protect victims of domestic violence, in accordance with Article 31.2 of the Organic Law on Integral Protection Measures against Gender Violence (LO1/2004).

Cut to 'New Life'

Finally, the mayor criticized the gradual cutting of funds to the Association 'New Life', aimed at the eradication of gender violence in the town.

As he explained, have gone from 12,000 euros in aid in 2006 during the socialist mandate, the 7,000 who just give in 2009 the PP government team.

Sanchez recalled that the partnership makes a work "commendable" and "irreplaceable" and that provides multiple services to women victims of macho aggression, for what he said did not understand the "snip" of the PP.

He said that the activity of 'New Life' is "compatible" and "complementary" to that performed by CAVI Lorca and asked why subsidies are returned to this group and the PP is serious a scourge that needs the involvement of public authorities to eradicate it.
